WHERE'S BLUE WATCH...?

So the Fire Brigade members are on an unofficial strike again. Apparently they are only answering 999 calls. So much for their public duties. In my opinion, the Government should get tough with these dinosaurs. They either accept modernisation or ship out. They're on the public payroll and they have no right to put our lives at risk in pursuit of their narrow selfish agenda. However the Labour Government is looking at a General Election in the next 12 months and thus weak-minded compromise with the militant Union is most likely.
